Satellite 2430-402, Display Driver Problem

I have a Satellite 2450-201. Very often when the system comes back from Hibernate the system will not re-boot, it gets stuck after the opening logo. I have to shut it off and then then got to safe mode, and then restart. I get a message that the system has recovered from a device failure and it identifies the Nvidia Display Driver as the culprit. I have re-loaded the latest Driver from Toshiba, but if I try ANY update from Microsoft the Display goes crazy, and I have to go throught the re-boot and safe mode thing again. Any ideas on what the problem may be?

Good evening ! I had this problem with my Satellite 2430-402. Ive updated the Bios and all was fine.
Did you checked your Bios Version at first ?

  • Satellite 2430-402 has a life of its own

    There might be different reasons for that... SOFTWARE or HARDWARE !!!
    First you will have to check if this happens only when you are running windows.
    SOFTWARE:
    If yes,
    (1) a malicious program (trojan, keylogger etc) might be installed on your laptop, or
    (2) a faulty driver might be the reason. Have you recently attached a usb mouse or keyboard to your computer? This might have installed a wrong or incompatible driver.
    Start your computer and keep it in the PRE-BOOT stage (enter the BIOS-SETUP and wait to see if this will occure there again).
    HARDWARE:
    If yes, I assume that the contacts of your keyboard film are dirty. You will have to remove the keyboard, open the film-lock and clean the contacts with alcohol or a contact spray. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please consult the Technical support.

  • Re: Satellite P100-160 - Display driver installation failed

    Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, vista 32 bit,
    Today Aero wasn't working and not available in graphics properties. Installed latest display driver from Toshiba UK site, Intel 15.0.1.1114. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe as it was the only one availabel that it must be correct.
    The driver install failed with an error (no details just 'an error has occurred'). Now I have no aero and my display resolution cant be set above 1280x800 - should be 1440x900
    To say I am pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? thanks

    Hey,
    If Aero is not available I dont think its display driver problem
    Anyway, have you removed the old display driver before you installed the new one? Go to device manager > right click on graphic card > uninstall. After reboot the display driver should be uninstalled and you can start with display driver installation.
    If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as Administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Restart once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
    Check this!!!

  • I'm going nuts with display driver problems!!!!

    Hi everyone,
    I joined the forum some time ago but I can't get back in so I logged in with a new ID.(Pain)
    I have a problem that I hope someone can help with When I place any of my work or a photo into CS5-Ext. I can't do any work on it? No matter what tool other than the paint brush I use, as soon as I click on the picture / work it disappears and will only re-appear if I click on it again. I've tried all sorts and it's driving me nuts, Can anyone help?---PLEASE---
    Thanks.

    That sounds like a display driver problem.
    What OS are you running?
    If Windows, you can often visit the web site of the maker of your video card and download/install an updated driver.
    If OSX, you need to look to Apple and their OS updates to get updated display drivers.

  • Satellite S3000-X11 - Display Driver install problem

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the display driver for my laptop and have downloaded the zip file 'display-20080414134834' from the Toshiba website. This file contains both a BIOS update and the display driver.
    Unfortunately when attempting to install the BIOS update I am told that I need to insert a floppy disk, which, sadly, is impossible given that this model of laptop does not have a floppy disk drive! It only has a DVD Drive, and not a rewritable one at that. Secondly, on attempting to install the display update (having failed with the BIOS) I am told to insert the disk containing Setup.exe. I don't know if this refers to the aforementioned floppy disk or another CD that perhaps came with the computer. If it did come with the computer however, it is not in my possession now (this is a second hand laptop that didn't come with any driver software).
    My question is how am I supposed to install this update and driver without a floppy disk drive or a cd containing setup.exe? Is there a way to get around this? The file I downloaded was the only available one from the Toshiba website, so there doesn't seem to be one available which doesn't require either of the things I'm lacking.
    If anyone can help I would be very grateful because this is preventing me from playing some computer games!
    In the meantime the generic driver is fine for browsing the internet etc.
    My operating system, by the way, is Windows XP Professional.
    Processor: 1.1 GHZ Celeron
    RAM: 256mb
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply, I didn't buy a floppy drive but you put me on the right track for a successful workaround.
    I used a programme called Virtual Floppy Drive (available at http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html) to create a disk for the bios update. I was then able to install the graphics driver without a problem. I'm quite amazed that this worked, but it did.
    So, there's a possible way to get around this problem.
    I'm off to play all the video games I haven't been able to play for a while! Haha.

  • Satellite T130-02F - Display Driver Error

    Hi There,
    I just purchased the Satellite T130-02F and after choosing 32bit running system I had the power connected to charge battery up and then started to get "display driver errors" where the screen would flash black and then flash back on. I've checked device manager and driver details, the drive is upto date and as far as I can see is the correct driver. I've searched sites to see if there ar other drivers out there, but its up to date.
    I haven't installed anything extra on the computer yet and find I get the error more regularly on the battery rather than power which concerns me. The computer is less than 24hrs old.
    Any advice?
    Mobile Intel (R) display chip set.
    Windows 7 installed 32bit.

    Hi
    In your case I would try reinstalling the display driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    After this make sure that the newest BIOS version is installed. You can download it on the Toshiba website too.
    If nothing works your only chance is an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and must be checked from professional people.

  • Satellite L10-190 - Display driver for Windows 7

    Hi,
    reading the message below *I* *wonder about this anwer* from Toshiba support! Why *not* installing Win 7 on an "oldie"? I did the same and it works very well. But I have got the same problem as Assim. And everybody knows, that Intel has not the intention to allocate a Win 7-driver for this chip (INTEL 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics). In my opinion, this is not a correct behaviour.
    I think either TOSHIBA or INTEL should allocate such a driver for their clients. This would be a minimum of support. Perhaps you think about...
    Best regards,

    Hi
    Im wondering that you installed Windows 7 on this oldie. In my opinion Windows XP would be the better choice but ok, you can do what you want ;)
    Anyway, as far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel graphic card so I would recommend downloading the driver form Intel directly because the Toshiba website shows only Windows XP display drivers.

    It is not so easy like you think. As you know hardware and software development goes together. With other words with new operating system there are new requirements for hardware and you can see on new notebooks sticker like Designed for WXP or Designed for Vista.
    So now you and many other notebook users have old piece of hardware but want to use newest and latest software on it. OK I can understand it but can you understand that notebook manufacturer on some step must say: enough for old models. Who want to have newest stuff must also have newest hardware. Maybe sounds stupid now but for me it sounds logical.
    The whole consumer products industry follows this logic I think.
    You must also understand that support is not cheap and if you want to support old hardware with new operating systems you must have team of programmers who must design hundreds of drivers, tools and utilities and also many people who must test it before it comes to the customers. It is the army of people who are very expensive.
    How the question is: is this rentable for the industry? To be honest I don't think so.

  • Display driver problem!

    Im trying to open a .psd file and it wont let to open it..It says photoshop encoutnered a problem with the display driver and has disabled the GPU enhancements!
    GPU enchancemnts can be enabled in the performance panel of prefences..
    If the image opens some how, I get a pop up saying there is a problem photoshop cs4 needsto shut down ..sigh!
    what should I do?

    Is your video card on the list of cards tested by Adobe?
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
    It may not fulfil the system requirements for Photshop CS4.
    This is from Adobe:
    Photoshop CS4 leverages the graphics display card's GPU*, instead of the computer's main processor (the CPU) to speed its screen redraw. For Photoshop to access the GPU, your display card must contain a GPU that supports OpenGL and has enough RAM to support Photoshop functions--at least 128 MB of RAM--and a display driver that supports OpenGL 2.0 and Shader Model 3.0.
    * GPU - Graphics Processing Unit. The computer chip on your graphics display card, that is optimized to display computer graphics to the screen.

  • Portege 3440 Display driver problems (2nd Screen)

    Hello to the complet comunity.
    I hope you will understand my post and will have not so big problems to understand it. I come from Germany.
    The Toshiba is a very wonderful Notebook. But since I have updated it from Win98Se too Windows 2000 I have a porblem with the display driver. I want to expand my desktop to an external display. This was no Problem under Win98Se. But with Win 2000 Sp3 I did not get it working. I have dry a lot of divernt drivers. Of course also the drivers from the support page. In the displayproperties I can choose S3DuoView, but it doesnt work. The internal and externel display with the same picture is no problem. But I want seperate pictures, for a example with PowerPoint or only to have more place on the desktop.
    Have somebody a woriking 3440 with Win2000 an two Displays.
    Temporaly the actuell version 5.12.01.7048 is "working".
    A new installation does not help. The same problem apears.
    Thank you for reading this long text.
    Greetings Spothuhn

    Hi
    I assume you want enable the extended desktop on your Portege.
    You have suggested that the 5.12.01.7048 graphic driver is working.
    On the Toshiba driver page I have found 2 different drivers for S3.
    One version is 7.31.26 and the other driver is 5.12.1.7009.
    I suggest that the 5.12 version is a little older. In this case try to install the 7.31 driver version. It would be very interesting to know if it will help.
    Which BIOS version did you have installed on the unit? The newest version is 1.6.
    Maybe the newest BIOS will help you.
    Bye

  • Display driver problem - Premiere Elements will not start

    Premiere Elements 10 will not run on my computer unless I downgrade to an old display driver. I would do this but it causes other problems.
    I am using the most recent driver from NVidia (but a pretty old display card).  I get this message: "We have detected an incompatible display driver... driver details: NVidia Geforce GTS 250/pCIe/SSE2 3.0.0"
    On Windows 7
    Can anybody help with this?

    Have you manually gone to the nVidia web site and downloaded the latest driver?
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    This fixes about 95% of these types of issues.
    Also, you definitely do have a BadDriver.txt file on your computer. And you may need to delete it to clear this error.
